Join the New England Region for theCommunity Service Day at the Greater Boston Food Bank! Lunch and Networking to follow at Victoria’s Diner

Saturday, March 17 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. ET

Giving back to the community comes naturally to those of us who are members of the RCA. On March 17th, we will have our first annual New England RCACommunity Service Dayvolunteering at theGreater Boston Food Bank (GBFB).

“Our nutrition team oversees the nutritional value of all the food we distribute. Their hard work ensures that 83% of the food we distribute meets the highest nutrition standards as defined by the Choosing Healthy Options (CHOP) ranking system. And, 28% of the food we distribute is fresh produce, much sourced from the 30 local farms we work with.”

A $25.00 donation provides 75 meals. The goal for our NERCA community service day is to raise as much money as possible to provide many meals to those in need. Learn morehere.

What to expect: As volunteers, we will work in the GBFB warehouse, inspecting, sorting, and repacking donated food and grocery products. NOTE: volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.

Registration: $25.00 (donation to the GBFB) $15.00 Student Donation
